[Intro]
Dbm E Dbm E
[Verse 1]
We'll make Dbmloneliness into love when we're bored
And find the right emotional Eprinciple to cut like a sword
Over the words of a Dbmpast me whispering
Love was the destination but we would Esettle for some sympathy
Turning myself Dbminto my own lord and then finding my own spinal chord
It's Efinally safe to throw our bones back into the sea
So Dbmwe can forget what it means to have bodies
When pursuing sanity Ejust feels like some sort of couples therapy
For these dual Dbmpersonalities bleeding into my psyche
Just questioning the Eanswers I give to those I see
And I was taught to never Dbmlet someone take parts away from who I am
But there are parts that Esometimes make me wanna hurt myself
So what am I supposed to do with them
[Chorus]
Your Aheart is on fire when you F#mwater down your words
You Dbmstarted much higher Ebefore you found the lord
And you Ajustify the way you F#mhate yourself with fDbmorgivenessE  
AObjects of obsession in F#mconstant repetition
This Dbmcycle where we try to find Ereasons that we're living
I'm a Aproduct of the products I F#mlet into my heart before I lDbmoved youE  
[Verse 2]
DbmAshes look the same whether they are your lover or an object that you would
ERather face than dealing with your pain or the emotional 
DbmStrain that comes with tearing open the seems passionately 
ENeglecting anything but the emotional strength
we Dbmtransform from being two souls searching for love in a bad dream 
ETo just two strangers with shared memories
And sometimes I Dbmfound stability while you kissed your soul goodbye
I know a song won't do Ejustice but it's all I have so I'll try
[Chorus]
Your Aheart is on fire when you F#mwater down your words
You Dbmstarted much higher Ebefore you found the lord
And you Ajustify the way you F#mhate yourself with fDbmorgivenessE  
AObjects of obsession in F#mconstant repetition
This Dbmcycle where we try to find Ereasons that we're living
I'm a Aproduct of the products I F#mlet into my heart before I lDbmoved youE  
[Bridge]
DbmTake two years from my life and couple from each Efriend
We'll collect another thirty years and bring you back from the dead
DbmTake two years from my life and couple from each Efriend
We'll collect another thirty years and bring you back from the dead
DbmTake two years from my life and couple from each Efriend
We'll collect another thirty years and bring you back from the dead
DbmTake two years from my life and couple from each Efriend
We'll bring you back from the dead, you could see me againA  F#m  
You could see me againDbm  E

AAnd since you left you hardly F#mever come up
And I'll Dbmtell you there's a part that I'll Enever give up
You Atell yourself now that I could F#mnever find out
Well you Dbmnever found me when Elove was such a vacant dream we'd scream

[Intro]

Dbm E Dbm E

[Verse 1]

Dbm

We'll make loneliness into love when we're bored

And find the right emotional principle to cut like a sword

Dbm

Over the words of a past me whispering

Love was the destination but we would settle for some sympathy

Dbm

Turning myself into my own lord and then finding my own spinal chord

It's finally safe to throw our bones back into the sea

Dbm

So we can forget what it means to have bodies

When pursuing sanity just feels like some sort of couples therapy

Dbm

For these dual personalities bleeding into my psyche

Just questioning the answers I give to those I see

And I was taught to never let someone take parts away from who I am

But there are parts that sometimes make me wanna hurt myself

So what am I supposed to do with them

[Chorus]

Your heart is on fire when you water down your words

Dbm E

You started much higher before you found the lord

A F#m Dbm E

And you justify the way you hate yourself with forgiveness

Ashes look the same whether they are your lover or an object that you would

Rather face than dealing with your pain or the emotional

Strain that comes with tearing open the seems passionately

Neglecting anything but the emotional strength

To just two strangers with shared memories

I know a song won't do justice but it's all I have so I'll try
